🥸 DISCLAIMER 🥸 As mentioned, this is a central European take on the situation (German here 🥨) but I do think that this is mostly accurate for places all over the world currently. If you have a different experience, let me know in the comments down below!
I’d also like to point out that this is by NO MEANS indicative about a watches actual quality or how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ it is. Watches and their (perceived) value are highly subjective and I can understand how sometimes the market categorizes a watch in a way you might disagree with.
That being said, in a free market, the customers drives choices and prices, therefore the entire dynamic is based on supply and demand.
What ultimately makes someone buy or sell a watch is up to them but I think it is not only interesting but also important to talk about the resulting situation.
I’d also like to add my own point of view here: When buying a watch, thinking about its resell value and the price I am able to buy it for is a big part of my purchase decision. It’s an expensive hobby and having a large sum of money parked in a watch isn’t always the smartest idea (though the nicest imo :-D). I have to think about how much money I’d be able to “get back” in case I might fall out of love and want to sell it – mostly because that money would go straight toward a new watch 😀 btw this is also a big part of why I love this hobby – once you get started, you can more or less ‘work’ with your initial investment and buy and sell all types of watches to wear and enjoy (no matter the budget!).
I know that this ‘debate’ of the value of a watch can sometimes get really heated but I’d like to remind everyone that watches aren’t a necessity – we’re still talking about a non-essential luxury good. They are a companion, an heirloom, a milestone reminder, an accessory, a tool and so much more – but lets not have it be something divisive ✌🏻
This video is meant to be informative, especially for those who just started to get interested in watches and are a bit confused about what’s going on (I mean hello – been there, done that lol).
woof – gotta end it here 😀
TL;DR its just watches – its not that serious.
Thank you for watching!
Jenni ❤️

Jenni good video. Are you saying Cartier De Santos and Bulgari Octos would be in the middle category?
first time I hear a german claiming to be from central europe, that's ours favorite thing to say 😀

If a watch is not popular to sell shouldn't that mean you can get a good price as a buyer?
Good video, but I'm pretty sure your money is safe in the Journe market.
Enjoyed your review. Agree wholeheartedly with one specific statement you made, do not borrow money to buy a watch, only buy what you can afford. Wise beyond your years! I love the JLC perp calendar regardless of the value retention. A watch enthusiast should buy what they love as they will likely keep long term, that is different from a watch investor who is not and enthusiast, just someone trying to make a profit from a commodity.

Disagree with fp journe. They are super hard to get at a decent second hand price. I’d take a chronograph bleu minus 25 today. LOL
Sorry to nitpick (!) but at 9:40 that is not a pie chart but rather a venn diagram
FP Journe??? WTH
F.P. Journe, last category? bwhahahaha
Well, thanks to let me know so quickly about your level of knowing of the trade, I just lost a couple of minutes of my life, bye bye
you're really pretty
I love you
I don't care what anyone says, Jenni Elle is the sexiest woman alive.
Thumbs down for the lack of list/table/chart and not respecting your viewers time
She forgot Grand Seiko! Racist!
They are trying too hard to give tudor the Rolex vibe. I visited 5 dealers this week and 4 of them tried to sell me a tudor chrono. All of them said “this is an incredible opportunity, they sell above retail everywhere and are incredibly hard to get, you’re lucky I have one” Meanwhile, the next dealer 300meters down the street had the same watch and story.
I really liked this. No great surprises in the list, but reinforced my impressions.
Jenni, what is your take on the Glashutte Original SeaQ 39.5 mm?
Seiko dive beaters always do well. I’ve bought and sold many, usually for more than i paid.
7:07 when Jenni listed of a bunch of the watch brands, had to be one of the most satisfying things to listen to.

But aren't older models of FP Journe increasing in value?
Surprised the AP Royal Oak wasn't in group 1.
My goodness. Those pronunciations…(melt)… Just to spend a lunch together chatting about watches and central European geography…..I don't mean to sound creepy. Your english is amazing and I love the slight accent.
Are these ppl or even you collecting watches or collecting money? Just a simple question.
I wear watches ( I prefer Zenith ). For investment, it is hard to beat classic guns!
Jenni Elle is the best youtube channel by far. She is profoundly beautiful. Great review every time!
Jenny – I’ve been following your channel for sometime. But this video really makes me question your understanding of the watch market. Suggest you do some “basic” research on FP Journe. I am a watch lover not an investor but even I know FP Journe is amongst the most collectible with extremely limited supply. Yes high price point which may limit demand but you also need to consider SUPPLY! Mille produces 5000 per year vs 800 per year for FPJourne. Both have crazy demand which is a pity as it makes it hard for watch lovers to buy FP Journe easily.
Per chrono (which is kinda a big disclaimer), my 25572RO and DJ36 are up 34% over 2 years
No Jenni, F.P Journe are at the level of Patek & AP (if not higher). They are in super high demand and can take 6 years to get a watch. Highly disagree with you on F.P Journe.
Honestly I’m not paying that kind of money to wear someone’s used watch. It’s new or nothing for me.
If you’re new to collecting watches & very concerned about resale value (for whatever reason), always buy a Rolex. Never ever other brand. Oh & btw, FP Journe is so hot right now the sales person will just tell u to F-off for asking an allocation.
Are you asking the same questions when buying a kitchen robot or new furniture?? Even better, are you asking the same question when buying new jewelry??
I’m confused about Journe being on the low tier of value retention. I thought those watches were exploding in value in the secondary market.
I find this topic very instructive, thank you Jenni it's interesting to watch even for those who don't want to buy a watch based on value retention (like myself)
Keep up with your videos, you rock !
In the states the overseas is already skyrocketed ur gonna pay at least 50% over retail 🥲
Thanks Jenni 👍🏻
